Chicken costume pattern

I am looking for a chicken / chick / rooster costume pattern. I've checked all the books at Joann Fabrics (McCalls, Simplicity, etc.) and can't find any adult costumes for chickens. Can anybody point me to where I can find a pattern?

Thanks!

Haven't seen a pattern for one. How well do you work without a pattern? I bet we could come up with a great costume without one.

How chickenly do you need it to look? I've done various animals from hooded sweatshirts. Do you need it to be more involved than something like that?

I bet we can all figure out how to make another kind of animal pattern work like as a chicken.

I put my thinking cap on and here's what I came up with.

Start with Simplicity pattern for a pumpkin #5490, but make it out of shaggy fake fur in white or yellow or Rhode Island Red (just depends on what kind of chicken you want to be) Add simple wing shapes that you simply tack on at the top. Yellow tights for chicken legs (paint horizontal chicken wrinkles for authenticity in a beige color) Yellow slip-on sneakers, or felt feet over your sneakers, and a hat shaped like a baby bonnet with a red felt comb and wattle. Don't forget the nubbin tail or if you've got a rooster in mind go crazy with felt tail feathers in rainbow colors.

Shouldn't be too hard, good luck, Laura

Those feather boas will work great - just kind of wind them around a polyester filled bodysuit and voila!

This isn't a pattern but it's a picture of a costume that would be very easy to copy.

yellow fur, felt hands and feet, even the hood wouldn't be difficult toduplicate. After reading the posts for ideas this seams to be about whatthey are describing, and a little visual aid maybe be all you need to pullit all together. You could trick it up with feathers and such. Good luck! Val
